Tuna el-Gebel Guest House 6275EG07JHP 
 Necropolis Tuna el-Gebel Guest House Egyptian Writer Modern Retreat Hossian City of the Dead with various chapels, temples and catacombs for animal mummies and many more which are still buried and unexcavated under the desert sands. It also has more modern guest houses as the one illustrated used by Egyptian author Dr Taha Hossian for instance.The site is centred on a Temple of Thoth, badly ruined, dating from Ramesside through to Roman times and was a place of pilgrimage so there are buildings for accommodation as well and remains of a Roman water wheel obtaining its water from a deep well. Near to the cemetery is the northern boundary stela of Akhenaten which can be visited after a short low grade climb up steps where it is protected from the elements behind a Perspex screen.
